​Hyderabad: GMR Hyderabad International Airport Ltd (GHIAL), which operates Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) here, has converted entire Airfield Ground Lighting (AGL) signage from CFL (Compact fluorescent lamp) to LED (Light Emitting Diode) lamps. It’s part of GHIAL’s commitment to be 100 per cent LED airport. 

A total of 132 units of AGL signage have been converted from CFL to LED in a span of two weeks. More than 350 LED strips of 10W power were retrofitted to this signage. 

All these installations meet the mandatory regulatory requirement and maintain the required photometry level as per the operational needs. The signage is deployed across around 1,700 acres of the airside.
